No Matthews again. Time to send him back and replace in Jan??

According to the local rag he has recovered from illness, so unless that information is incorrect you wonder if LJ has finally had it with him, international call-up or no international call-up. He certainly made no bones about what he though of him being out of shape at the start of the season. It's very disappointing, as there's clearly a good player in there (LJ has also made that clear), but if he can't be depended upon to get himself fit and stay fit, he might as well not be here. I don't want to condemn him until the full facts are known, but we are over half way through November, about a third of the way through the season, and his contribution so far has been negligible. As I understand it, he is on loan for the duration, no recall, which may or may not mean we can't send him back, but you begin to understand why he wound up training with the U-21s at Sunderland. If this does really all come down to a lack of professionalism (and I stress the "if") then he's a waste of space and the sooner we off-load him in favour of someone who actually want to be a pro footballer, with all that entails, the better.

Stupid parents coming up with a first name like that.  I used to work with a William Williams.  What were they thinking??

The Screecher could be screeching a bit less today, sounding increasingly snuffly with the odd muffled cough.

Tammy frustrated as Bobby Reid fails to find him in space.

I know of someone called Chris Peacock. 

Can thank his parents for his nickname - Crispy.

Fielding loses out and Little clears off the line

[Nogbad the Bad]

Little 'clears off the line' (several yards out) after Jutkiewicz gets the ball past Fielding.

[old_eastender]

Brum looking quicker, sharper and winning all to 50-50s

 

[Red Thai]

Looks like we're under the cosh a bit?

[Esmond Million's Bung]

I have to say whilst we definitely need another striker, I really don't think our midfield is good enough, earlier all 3 central midfielders caught in front of the ball whilst attacking and nearly gave a goal away from the subsequent break away, that happens far too often IMO.

Could be worse. There's a fair few Mike Hunts about. Ask Mike Hunt-Hertz on here.

Don't mock the afflicted.

O'Neil shot deflected wide with keeper stranded.

Corner to City.

[Nogbad the Bad]

Very poor corner, overhit by Paterson.

[Luxo Jr.]

Should Tomlin be taking corners?

[Nogbad the Bad]

LJ body language indicating displeasure, apparently.

[bristolcitysweden]

Scrappy game. COYR!! 

[old_eastender]

header just over from them, feels like just a matter of time I'm afraid...

[Fiale]

should be 1-0 up but 2 players miss a cross

 

[Nogbad the Bad]

Jutkiewicz heads across goal, wide of the far upright.

[Kodjias Wrist]

Johnson out Trump in!

[Roadrunner]

Sounds like yet another poor first half.

[Major Isewater]

Sounds like Billy Smart's from City . Lucky to be at nil nil i hear . We are either going to get thrashed or we are going to nick it .

[Nogbad the Bad]

Pack 40 yard pass finds Reid whose deflected shot goes for a corner.

[forbespm]

Sounds like the previous 3 or 4 games,very scrappy

[Fiale]

Birmingham shooting on sight, unlike us who seem reluctant to pull the trigger at times

 

 

[Major Isewater]

It is hard to listen to a match . When watching you have a much better idea of how the teams are playing .
